Chapter 353 Adopted Daughter
Lin Xiumin hugged Lin Xiuqing, and the two sisters cried together again.
When the people around heard this, they were filled with mixed emotions and sighed with emotion.
Old Master Qin's eyes were red and tears were streaming down his face.
Li Shu, who had been standing by, said:
"Alright, old man! It's all over now. Don't be sad anymore. Look at the bright side! The promise you made to your old friend has finally come true!"
Everyone then realized that this was indeed the case!
Lin Jiao is adopted!
Su Tong is the real daughter of the Su family!
Old Mr. Qin wanted to get his old friend's granddaughter into his house, but all his efforts were in vain.
My grandson had already quietly brought the person in.
Thinking of this, the old man was no longer sad, and suddenly grinned and laughed.
Then he looked for his grandson everywhere and shouted:
"Where's Xiaoyi? Xiaoyi! Great! Great! This brat finally did something that made me happy!"
Qin Yi had been standing in a corner of the living room, listening quietly to the whole story.
When he heard the old man calling him, he showed up and said, "Grandpa!"
Mr. Qin said happily:
"Look! He's so obedient calling me grandpa now, but he was giving me a cold shoulder at home yesterday! He even announced to our whole family that if anyone dares to stop his marriage application, he won't be able to return to this family! Look, look! He's still bullying me! Wasn't it me who arranged this marriage in advance? It was decided a long time ago!"
Qin Yi looked at Mr. Qin's joy and said:
"Yes, yes! You have good vision! I'll tell her later that you will be given credit for this!"
"It's a must! It's a must!"
As he spoke, his eyes turned red again. He looked up at the ceiling and muttered:
"When my granddaughter-in-law offers tea, give the first cup to Old Su, and the second cup must be given to me! No one can compete with me!"
Seeing that the old man was sad again, Qin Yi winked at his mother.
Li Shu stood up, helped the old man up and walked to the side...
"You are old! You have to take it easy. Don't be too sad or too excited. Let's go sit over there..."
Qin Yi then turned around, faced the elders in the room, stood at attention, raised his hand, and saluted.
He was wearing a military uniform today, and the salute was very standard and serious.
Then he said, "All the elders from the Su and Lin families are here today. I'm glad that Su Tong has found her home, and I'm glad that you are all her relatives! I want to apologize to everyone. Before I knew you were her family, Su Tong and I were already in love. She and I have experienced life and death together, and we are people who can trust each other with our lives! I, Qin Yi, will marry no one else in this life!"
"At this moment, I can be regarded as, as Su Tong's lover, getting to know everyone again."
Su Wenqian and Lin Xiuqing looked at each other and said nothing.
"Su Tong's life was... very hard. Elder Lin knows all about it... I don't want to talk about her excellent qualities. What I want to say is that although she appears strong on the surface, she actually longs for a family in her heart! She said that she never had a father and a mother..."
Lin Xiuqing's eyes immediately turned red.
"She has been to Gansu Province and Shuanggouzi Village. She has been looking for her mother and relatives! But due to lack of clues, she has not found them!"
"Xiaotong! My Xiaotong! Mommy is so sorry for you..."
Lin Xiuqing finally burst into tears again.
Su Wenqian supported Lin Xiuqing, and saw that the couple was about to cry again...
"Uncle and aunt——"
Qin Yi hurriedly shouted, "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to make you cry! I just wanted to ask, in this situation, what are you going to do with Lin Jiao?"
His words successfully stopped the tears of both people.
The couple both looked up at him, not knowing what Qin Yi meant...
After a moment, Lin Xiuqing wiped her tears and looked at Qin Yi and said:
"Xiao Yi! As for Xiao Tong, I have never given up looking for her and missing her. However, the longer time goes by, the smaller the possibility of finding her becomes. Although I adopted Lin Jiao for some unavoidable reasons, she has indeed brought me great comfort for a long time!"
"I asked her to take my last name Lin, and I also gave her a new name. I would not let her take Xiaotong's name. She was... a little old when she followed me, and some of her habits were difficult to correct, but I was always very strict with her, and she was still quite sensible."
"Although...she is not my biological child, I signed an adoption agreement with her biological parents. I have raised her for so many years. Currently...I don't have any other plans..."
Lin Xiuqing paused, "Xiaoyi! Are you afraid...what Xiaotong will think of me adopting Lin Jiao?"
Qin Yi shook his head and said, "If it is your decision, Su Tong will not have any ideas! Because I know her, there are some things I want to tell you in advance!"
Then, he looked up at the others and said in a deep voice:
"No one present is an outsider, so I'll just say it straight...
First, when Lin Jiao was adopted, she was not five years old, but six and a half years old. Her family concealed her age so that Aunt Lin could take her away. "
"Second, she had just had an abortion when she was discussing marriage with the Qin family."
“Bang—”
Lin Xiumin had just brought a glass of water and was about to hand it to Lin Xiuqing, but it fell directly to the ground.
When I mentioned the first point, although everyone was surprised, they could barely accept it. In those days, there were many children in rural areas and boys were favored over girls, so if someone wanted to give a child away, they would lie about their age... and that was indeed the case.
But this second point... is a little too... too...
Just like this... when I was discussing the marriage with the Qin family...
"Aunt Lin! You are a Chinese medicine practitioner. Even if you haven't felt her pulse, you should be able to tell something from her complexion! This was discovered when Su Tong felt Lin Jiao's pulse in Xiaoya Village."
Lin Xiuqing's face turned pale. She thought for a while and said:
"During that time, I saw that she didn't look well, so I said I would take her pulse so I could treat her. She said it was because she... her period was too long and she felt a little weak. She kept hiding from me during that time... I thought that my daughter was getting older and didn't want to talk to adults about some things, so I just..."
"Aunt Lin, what I said is not the most important thing. There is a third point. The criminal I caught, Zhang Shoucheng, who assaulted her, was her childhood playmate in Shuanggouzi Village. There was not just one, but also a playmate named Zhang Liansheng! Now, Zhang Shoucheng's girlfriend is still crying out for injustice everywhere. Although the truth has not been found out yet, this matter is too coincidental!"
Lin Xiuqing's face turned pale...
Qin Yi said: "I'm telling you all this not to prove how many shortcomings Lin Jiao has, but to tell you that even though she is the daughter of the Lin family and lives with everyone day and night, she has done many things in private that no one knows about!"
"Last year, I was assigned to investigate a major case. The case involved people all over the country. The investigation was very difficult and took a long time. However, Lin Jiao single-handedly went from Beijing to the place where the case was closed in the mountains in the southwest. In the end, she became a hostage in the hands of the main culprit. This is simply unbelievable."
"I can't say too much about some details, but I hope everyone can take this person seriously. I'm not sure yet whether she has violated the law..."
"But judging from what she has done so far, the Su family and the Lin family treat her as their daughter, but she may not treat you as her elders!"
